FOREWORD 

The purpose of this bulletin is to compile such data pertaining 
to the Southern Illinois State Normal University as may be of 
interest and value, not merely at the present time, but more espec- 
ially for future readers, when many details, now at hand, would be 
difficult to obtain ; for one of the derelictions of many people is the 
lamentable lack of permanent and reliable records of significant 
events, and of the persons who figured in those events. 

Doubtless an embarrassing number of errors have found their 
way into these few pages thru one cause and another; and items 
of real worth have been overlooked, due in part to the weakness 
of the human memory aijd to the lack of proper record being 
made at the time of their occurrence. 

The author of this bulletin acknowledges, with much gratitude, 
his indebtedness to the many friends who have kindly supplied 
much valuable information which could not otherwise have been 
obtained; to the History of Jackson County and to the early 
pages of the "Anniversary Souvenir" published in connection 
with the ''Quarter Centennial" of the Institution, which was 
observed in an elaborate program during the Commencement Week 
of June 1899.

A HISTORICAL SKETCH 

OF THE 

SOUTHERN ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL 
UNIVERSITY 

The people of this republic are justly proud of their public 
school systems and of their institutions of higher learning. The 
history of each of these two classes of schools reveals the true 
spirit of the American civilization ; it exhibits a rational basis for 
a nation's growth and perpetuity, as it provides for an enlightened 
citizenship. 

The enormous wealth annually poured into the public and 
institutional treasuries for these sources of enlightenment and 
culture indicates, in some measure at least, the estimate our people 
place upon the proper training and evolution of the powers of her 
children and youth, in order that they may be thoroly equipped 
for the duties and relationships of life, realizing in some sense the 
responsibility of one generation to provide the best conditions 
possible for the one to follow. 

Such being the case, an historical account of any one of these 
institutions should be of more than passing interest, especially to 
its immediate friends who know somewhat of its career, to those 
who may have been its beneficiaries and to those who may be in 
the coming years. There are reasons why this is peculiarly true 
of a typical normal school for its special function is to prepare 
those who are to be the special factors in the education of the 
people. It may not be irrelevant to the protest against the unwar- 
ranted use of the term normal by those who appropriate it for its 
commercial value, since they seem to have but little claim for its 
use, save the prestige it may afford the school. The "Slimmer 
Normals," not yet wholly extinct in some parts of the state, is an 
example of its unfair application. 

The '^Prairie State" may well boast of the provision she has 
made for this special training of her actual and prospective teach- 
ers, having now five well equipped state normal schools, receiving 
thru the last General Assembly the liberal amount of $1,427,750.00 
for the biennium, extending from July 1, 1913, to June 30, 1915.

This amount seems incredible when it is remembered that it seemed 
almost an impossibility to secure even a few thousand dollars for 
the older normal school in the early sixties and not much easier 
a full decade later when the Southern Illinois normal school 
united its forces with those of her older sister in pleading for 
appropriations. 

A Pretentious Title 

The question is frequently asked, why are the two older schools 
called normal universities? In brief, the answer is as follows: 
The distinguished title was given to the older one that she might 
participate in the use of an educational fund, set apart by the 
general government which amounted to nearly thirteen thousand 
dollars per annum. When the Southern Illinois normal school 
came into being its friend insisted that it should have a no less 
pretentious name and also share in the interest on the College and 
Seminary Fund. In establishing the three later schools it was 
decided to give them names similar to those of other state normal 
schools and more in keeping with the purpose of the institutions. 

Early Agitation 

The subject of this sketch had its statutory birth by an act of 
the legislature in 1869, the bill receiving the approval of Governor 
John M. Palmer on April 20. Previous to this date however, the 
friends of education in the southern part of Illinois realized the 
need of a training school for teachers and were discussing the 
matter privately and at public gatherings. From a chapter in the 
^'Plistory of Jackson County," prepared by Professor S. E. Har- 
wood in 1878, it appears that at a meeting of teachers in an insti- 
tute held at Salem in the spring of 1868, it was decided to make 
a formal call for a meeting to be held in Centralia in the follow- 
ing September. A few days later a similar action was taken by 
a company of teachers at Carbondale, apparently without any 
knowledge of the action taken at Salem, calling a meeting to be 
held at Carbondale in the latter part of May or early part of 
June. The meeting was held on June 24, resulting in plans for 
a general meeting to be held in Centralia on September 1. It is 
claimed that this initial meeting at Carbondale was largely due 
to the enthusiastic efforts of the Eev. Clark Braden, then President 
of the Southern Illinois College then in operation at Carbondale, 
located on the site now occupied by the Lincoln School building. 



It is also stated that Dr. Eobert AUyn, then President of Me. 
Kendree College, wrote the call for the general meeting which was 
held in Centralia. The account further states that nearly one 
thousand persons were present at the meeting in Carbondale, repre- 
senting quite every county in the southern end of the state. 

The First Legislative Enactment 

The Centralia meeting resulted in the appointment of a com- 
mittee to present the matter before the next General Assembly, 
which was to meet the following January. This was effectually 
done, consummating in the passage of a bill appropriating $75,000 
for establishing a normal school in southern Illinois. The bill was 
approved by Governor Palmer, March 9, 1869. 

In due time the following persons were named by the governor 
as ''Charter Trustees:" Captain David Hurd of Cairo, General 
Eli Boyer of Olney, Colonel Thomas M. Harris of Shelbyville, 
Rev. Elihu J. Palmer of Carbondale, brother of the governor, and 
Samuel J. Flannagan of Benton. 

The Location of the Institution 

It was no unusual thing that much interest centered about the 
matter of just where in southern Illinois, should the new educa- 
tional institution be located. The contestants were Pana, Vandalia, 
Olney, Carlyle, Centralia, Tamaroa, Duquoin and Carbondale. 
Intense interest developed and the strife became disagreeably 
warm; so much so that after over forty four years have passed 
there still survive traces of the lack of genuine brotherly love. To 
secure this prize, Carbondale assumed an obligation which has 
proved a burden till the present time. 

The particular site chosen is a tract of about twenty acres 
lying at the southern limits of the town and adjacent to the right 
of way of the Illinois Central Railroad, on the west side thereof. 
It may be appropriate to add that Carbondale had a warm friend 
in the person of the late General John A. Logan, whose residence 
was at that time in Carbondale. 

While the appropriation made by the Legislature was but 
$75,000.00 the little town of Carbondale and other friends in 
Jackson County contributed enough to authorize the Board of 
Trustees to let the contract for the building amounting to $210,000. 
The plans and specifications were made by Thomas Walsh of St. 
Louis. 



8 

The corner stone was laid on May 17, 1870 with very impressive 
exercises, under the direction of the Masonic Fraternity; Grand 
Master, H. G. Keynolds conducting the ceremonies. The report 
states that not less than fifteen thousand people were present on 
that occasion. President Eichard Edwards of the other normal 
school and Dr. Robert AUyn were the principal speakers in addi- 
tion to Mr. Reynolds. 

Death of Contractor 

During the erection of the building, the contractor, Mr. James 
Mr. Campbell was almost instantly killed by the falling of a large 
timber. Because of some features of the terms of the contract, the 
death of Mr. Campbell caused some difficulty in completing the 
building. To meet this emergency the state undertook to finish 
the task. Consequently the Board of Charter Trustees was aban- 
doned and in their stead six Building Commissioners were 
appointed, viz. John Wood of Cairo, Elihu Palmer of Carbondale, 
Hiram Walker of Jonesboro, R. H. Sturgiss of Vandalia, Nathan 
Bishop of Marion, and F. M. Malone of Anna. On account of 
these unexpected delays and new conditions the entire cost of the 
building and its furnishings amounted to nearly $265,000.00. 

Style op Architecture 

Since this building was destroyed, a brief description thereof 
may not be amiss at this time. The style of architecture was of 
the Norman type; the walls were of red brick trimmed with red 
sandstone of two colors. The extreme length was 215 feet, the 
extreme width was 109 feet, four stories in height, the first being 
14 feet, the second 18 feet, the third 22 feet and the fourth, or 
mansard, 19 feet. Their uses were as follows : the first for janitor's 
rooms, heating apparatus, chemical laboratory and a carpenter's 
shop; the second and third for offices, class rooms and a large 
study hall; the fourth for the library, museum, two literary halls 
and an assembly hall. 

Anticipating the completion of the building in a short time, 
Governor John L. Beveridge, in 1873, appointed the following 
persons to constitute the first regular board which should, as their 
first duty, select a faculty of instruction, and provide suitable 
furniture, apparatus, and such other equipment as they deemed 
necessary: Edwin S. Russell of Mt. Carmel, James Robarts of 
Carbondale, Lewis M. Phillips of Nashville, Thomas S. Ridgway 



of Shawneetown, and Jacob W. Wilkin of Marshall. The board 
was organized as follows: President, Thomas S. Ridgway; Secre- 
tary, Dr. Robarts; Treasurer, John G. Campbell; Registrar, 
Charles W. Jerome. 

By an act of the General Assembly of 1889 the Superintendent 
of public Instruction became ex-offieio member of the board of 
trustees thereafter. 

Dedication and Opening 

The completed building was dedicated on July 1, 1874. The 
principal speakers were Dr. Richard Edwards who came to take 
the place of the State Superintendent, Dr. Newton Bateman, who 
was unable to be present on account of illness. President Charles 
H. Fowler of Northwestern University, Dr. Robert Allyn the 
newly elected president of the institution, Hon. J. J. Bird of Cairo, 
and the president of the new board of trustees, Thos. S. Ridgway. 

On the following day, July 2, the doors of the institution were 
thrown open to the young people of the state, especially of the 
southern part, in a special session of four weeks length. The first 
regular session was opened on the sixth of September, when the 
school was hopefully launched upon its career of usefulness. 

The members of the faculty were enthusiastic and co-operative 
in every good word and work; the people of Carbondale were 
responsive to every call for assistance and sympathetic support, a 
condition that does not always prevail in older institutions when 
local interests become more varied and complex. 

Burning of the First Building 

To one, not on the ground and not familiar with the conditions 
then existing in Southern Illinois, it is difficult to imagine the 
feeling of the people toward the new institution that meant so 
much to the present and future generations in intellectual and 
social attainments. The building was the pride of the town and 
of the entire state. But its glory was of short duration; for on 
the afternoon of November 26, 1883 it was discovered to be on fire 
at the south end in the mansard roof. The wind being in the 
north, the burning was less rapid than it otherwise would have 
been, giving more time for saving the furniture, apparatus and 
the valuable library, which had been selected with much care by 
President Allyn. By the heroic efforts of the student body, the 
faculty and the citizens of the town, nearly all the valuable material 



10 

was rescued from the flames except that in the museum, which was 
indeed very creditable for one so few years in collecting. 

Notwithstanding the great loss and paralyzing effect of so 
serious a catastrophe, the stricken people, one and all, rallied to 
the emergency by calling a mass meeting the same evening and 
matured plans for carrying on the school, with a loss of only the 
following day, Wednesday, as Thursday was Thanksgiving and 
no school was to be held on Friday. By the following Monday 
morning a sufficient number of halls, offices, and churches in the 
town had been tendered the institution to enable the school to 
resume its regular work. 

The Temporary Building 

Thru the timely liberality of the citizens of Carbondale, mem- 
bers of the faculty and others, a temporary building was promptly 
erected on the campus and ready for use by the following Febru- 
ary. This was a temporary home for the school while it awaited 
the action of the next General Assembly which would not meet 
in regular session till January 1885, more than a year off. 

This improvised home was constructed in the form of a Greek 
cross, one story in height, the center being used for the assembly 
hall and study room and the arms for recitation rooms in such 
manner that all departments were provided for. It was indeed 
a unique structure, having its limitations and imperfections, but 
it served to keep the school intact and in running order till the 
Legislature met and made provision for rebuilding. Had the school 
disbanded, the chances for an appropriation for rebuilding would 
doubtless have been endangered, as at that time the normal schools 
of Illinois were not on as good footing as they are at the present 
time. 

The experiences and lessons taught by this seeming calamity 
had their compensations, and are remembered with much interest 
by those who participated therein. 

The Restored Building 

The 34th General Assembly, which convened in the early part 
of January 1885, responded promptly and liberally to the call for 
an appropriation with which to rebuild, granting $152,065.00 for 
said purpose. It had been determined that the foundation and 
the walls of the first story were practically uninjured and by a 
small expense would be as good as they ever were, thus saving a 



11 

large part of what otherwise would be necessary to restore the 
building. In this respect the board established a precedent which 
has guided their successors, with but few exceptions, in their 
requests for funds, that of limiting their askings to the amount 
necessary to accomplish the purpose in mind; not planning to 
consume the amount appropriated in partially completing a build- 
ing, and afterward going before the legislature for another request 
for funds. In this particular instance a small balance was returned 
to the state treasury. 

The plans and specifications were prepared by Mr. Isaac 
Taylor of St. Louis. The contract was let to Messrs. Parry & 
Deal of Peoria. The Supt. of Construction was Mr. Isaac Rapp of 
Carbondale. The dedicatory exercises were held on February 24, 
1887, the principal speakers were Governor Richard J. Ogiesby, 
who had approved the bill on June 27, 1885, Thomas S. Ridgway 
and President Robert AUyn. In many respects the new structure 
is superior to the former one. 

There was a feeling of great rejoicing when the school entered 
into its new home, after many months of cramped quarters and 
serious inconveniences. So significant was this occurrence in the 
life of the institution that a large portion of the history of the 
school dates either "before" or "after" the "fire." 

There were some serious objections to having a fourth story 
to the first building, and when the fire had its origin in the mansard 
part it was no difficult matter to have the style of architecture 
so altered as to eliminate the fourth story in the new building. 
Retaining the foundation walls, the general contour of the restored 
structure is necessarily the same, but the roof is quite unlike the 
former one. 

The Science Building 

In the course of a few years, less than a decade, it became 
necessary to make more ample provision for the ever growing needs 
of the school. The several departments of science were needing 
larger space for laboratory facilities, and the library had outgrown 
the spacious room that had been assigned to it. To meet these 
demands the 39th General Assembly made an appropriation of 
$40,000.00 for the erection of a Science building. The bill was 
approved by Governor John P. Altgeld on June 7, 1895. The 
architect for this building was Mr. C. Ward Rapp of Chicago. The 
contract was given to M. T. Lewman & Co. of Louisville, Ky. The 
comer stone "was laid by the Honorable Owen Scott, Grand 



12 

Master A. F. A. M., State of Illinois, July 21, A. D. 1896:— A. 
L. 5826." This building was dedicated on December 22, 1896. The 
principal speakers were the president of the board of trustees, 
Hon. Charles W. Bliss, President H. W. Everest, and Judge W. 
W. Barr. 

The Library Building 

The continued growth of the school in the enrichment of its 
courses of study and the needs of the library in a few years made 
it necessary to consider the matter of more room. At the sugges- 
tion of the president of the board. Judge S. P. Wheeler, it was 
decided to make an effort to secure an appropriation for the erec- 
tion of a library building. In compliance with the appeal, the 43rd 
General Assembly set apart $25,000.00 for this purpose. The Bill 
was approved by Gov. Eichard Yates on May 15, 1903; Mr. C. 
Ward Rapp was asked to prepare the plans and specifications ; his 
father, Mr. Isaac Rapp, was employed to superintend the construc- 
tion; the contract was given to the Southern Illinois Construction 
Company of East St. Louis. 

The building was dedicated on June 6, 1904, the principal 
address being delivered by Judge Wheeler. Because of his deep 
interest in the institution for so many years, and his special inter- 
est in the new home for the library, his colleagues named this, the 
third building in the plant, in his honor. Thru the kindness of 
Mrs. Wheeler a very excellent likeness of Mr.- Wheeler was given 
to the library, a very acceptable and appropriate contribution to 
the walls that are most dear to the student body, to the faculty 
and to all who frequent its precincts. 

The General plan of this building provided a second story of 
steel stacks and glass floor so as to provide for almost a double 
amount of shelf room. The 47th General Assembly made an appro- 
priation of $2,000.00 for this purpose as the capacity of the lower 
floor had been reached. These latter steel stacks were placed by 
the Library Bureau people of Chicago. With the present equip- 
ment it will be a number of years before additional shelf room will 
be needed. 

The Model School Building 

From 1887 till 1909 the Training School was housed in the 
lower story of the main building under conditions that never were 
satisfactory because of insufficient light, imperfect ventilation and 
unsanitary conditions in general. In order to remove these objec- 
tionable features the 45th General Assembly was asked to make an 
appropriation of $50,000.00 for the erection of a special home for 



13 

this very important department of the institution. Said bill was 
passed, and received the approval of Governor Charles S. Deneen 
on May 27, 1907. The contract was let to the Hanson Brothers of 
Chicago. The plans and specifications were prepared by the state 
architect, William Carbyss Zimmerman; the Superintendent of 
Construction was Mr. Walter W. Friedline. Because of the parti- 
cular character of work to be done here it was fitting that the 
corner stone should be laid by a representative of the Alumni 
Association. The member selected to perform this delightful task 
was a member of the valedictorian of the first graduating class, 
Miss Mary Wright, of Cobden, Illinois. These exercises were held 
on June 4, 1908. 

This building was dedicated with a special program on January 
11, 1909. Superintendent Francis G. Blair, Hon. William F. 
Bundy, President of the Board, and Professor Samuel E. Harwood, 
Superintendent of the Training School were the speakers. 

A special appropriation of $1,000.00 was made by the following 
Legislature for furnishing the building. 

It was a very appropriate expression of the esteem in which 
Dr. Eobert Allyn is still held in the affections of the people to 
name this home of the training school the "Allyn Building." 

Bayliss Field and Geand Stand 

Among other contributions made in order to secure the normal 
school at Carbondale, was a tract of land containing about eleven 
acres lying just east of the public school property and extending 
to the city limits on the east. Not until about 1900 was there any 
use made of this property. The demand for an athletic field became 
sufficiently strong to justify the expenditure of sufficient funds 
to put this tract in condition for use in the way indicated. It 
was enclosed with a suitable fence, trees were planted in large 
numbers next to the outside in three rows, and a running track 
was constructed. In 1905 a cottage was built on the premises 
as a home of one of the janitors, who would serve as care-taker 
of the entire property. In 1907 a grand stand was built at a cost 
of $1,000.00, which has a capacity of seating 1,000 people. An 
explanation of the naming of this field is given on another page. 

The Woman's Building 

In the early years of the school there seemed to be but little 
difficulty in securing satisfactory boarding places for the students, 



14 

but in later years conditions in these matters had so changed that 
the housing of the students became a serious problem, which in- 
creased with the years, till a dormitory, at least for the young 
women, seemed to be imperative. The first attempt to secure an 
appropriation was unsuccessful, but the second effort secured the 
passage of a bill setting apart $75,000.00, a reduction of $25,000.00 
from the amount asked for. The bill was approved by Governor 
Deneen, May 27, 1911. 

Because of a large number of bills for new buildings having 
been passed by the 47th General Assembly, it was found necessary 
to defer the erection of some of them till the second year of the 
biennium. The normal schools were thot better able to wait than 
those intended to accomodate the wards of the commonwealth. In 
due time the plans and specifications were prepared by state archi- 
tect, Mr. Zimmerman, the contract let to ''The Schmidt Brothers 
Co." of Chicago, with Mr. Walter W. Friedline as superintendent 
of construction. 

Because of repeated delays and disappointments the dormitory 
was scarcely ready for occupancy at the opening of the present 
school year, 1913-1914 ; but under the circumstances it was decided 
to open its doors to the young ladies without further delay. Its 
appreciation by the young women was shown by their eagerness 
to enjoy its privileges and comforts even before the school year 
opened. In a short time all the rooms were taken and at once it 
became the center of the social life of the institution, and sets a 
standard in many of the relationships of the student. 

In the selection of an appropriate name for the Woman's Build- 
ing it was finally decided to name it in honor of the noted advocate 
of ''Woman Suffrage" and other phases of woman's advancement, 
Susan B. Anthony. Hereafter much of the life of the Southern 
Illinois Normal University will center in and around "Anthony 
HaU." 

Anthony Hall was formally dedicated on the afternoon of 
October 23, 1913, in connection with the installation of President 
Shryock, an account of which appears elsewhere, the principal 
speakers being Senator Kent E. Keller, Hon. W. W. Williams, a 
member of the Board of Trustees, Judge W. W. Barr, President 
of the Board, Mrs. Judge Butler of Cairo, and President Henry 
W. Shryock. The occasion was one of unusual interest and was 
enjoyed by a large concourse of students, people of the city and 
from many surrounding cities. These significant and enjoyable 



IS 

exercises were concluded in the evening by a public reception held 
in the parlors of Anthony Hall, a very fitting closing of the day's 
program. 

BOARDS OF TRUSTEES 

As stated in an earlier page, the bill providing for the estab- 
lishment of the institution called for the appointment of a Board 
of Charter Trustees. On account of the death of the contractor 
and some serious shrinkage in the subscriptions to the fund which 
secured the location of the school, the state assumed the completion 
of the building by the appointment of six Building Commissioners. 
Upon the completion of their work this board was abandoned and 
in their stead a regular Board of Trustees was appointed, who with 
their successors and subsequent successors from term to term, have 
served the state till the present time. Their names and dates of 
appointment and retirement are as follows:

THE FACULTY 

The following is a list of the Faculty from the opening of the 
Institution to the date of this Bulletin, April, 1914, the first 
eleven constituting the faculty for the first three years; also, the 
offices held in the faculty, the more important branches taught, 
and degrees received, either before coming to the institution or 
afterward. Prior to 1893 the Annual Catalog did not publish the 
degrees held by members of the faculty, which makes it very diffi- 
cult at this time to obtain reliable data on this matter ; hence some 
omissions of degrees which otherwise would be given.

PERSONAL MENTION 

It would be a source of much pleasure to the compiler of these 
notes to dwell with some detail upon the services of each of the 
different members of the several Boards of Trustees, and of the 
Faculties, but space will not permit. However, he takes the privi- 
lege of making brief mention of the officers of each group and a 
few others. 

Presidents of the Boards 

By consulting the full list of trustees it will be observed that 
the Hon, Thomas S. Ridgway of Shawneetown was the first to 
occupy this responsible position, being appointed in the latter part 
of 1873 and served till the spring of 1893; his retirement along 
with that of his colleagues being due to a change of state adminis- 
tration. 

Mr. Ridgway possessed many qualities that rendered him an 
efficient administrative officer. It was during this period of his 
life that he served one term as state treasurer. Four years after 
his retirement from the board he was tendered a reappointment 
thereon, but his somewhat impaired health and extensive business 



26 

interests prompted him to decline the honor and the responsibility. 
He died not long after this date. The small body of water on the 
campus is called in his honor, "Lake Ridgway." 

Mr. Ridgway was succeeded by the Hon. Charles W. Bliss of 
Hillsboro, who also made an excellent officer in said capacity. It 
was during his term of office that the Science building was erected 
and equipped. Upon the resignation of Mr. Bliss and his col- 
leagues, all of whom were appointed by Governor Altgeld, a new 
board, with the exception of the State Superintendent, Mr. Inglis, 
was appointed by Governor Tanner. Judge Samuel P. Wheeler 
of Springfield, who had served on the board from 1883 to 1893, 
was chosen by his associates as their president, which position he 
occupied till the date of his resignation in 1906. His two terms 
of service aggregated seventeen years. In recognition of his long 
and valuable service in this capacity his colleagues on the board 
named the library in his honor, an account of which is noted on 
a previous page. 

Dr. F. C. Vandervort of Bloomington, who had been a mem- 
ber since 1899, was made Judge Wheeler's successor in 1906. In 
this capacity he served till 1909 ; making a period of ten years of 
faithful labor and attention to the needs of the institution. The 
doctor took a deep interest in all matters pertaining to the school, 
very rarely missing a meeting of the board. 

Upon the retirement of Dr. Vandervort, the Hon. William F. 
Bundy was promoted to the presidency. Having been a student 
of the school at the time of the burning of the first building, 
it was not strange that he manifested unusual interest in its 
welfare. Upon the resignation of Mr. Bundy and the other 
members, except the State Superintendent, in 1913, a new board 
was placed in charge, and Judge W. W. Barr of Carbondale was 
elected President. Having taken an active part in securing favor- 
able legislation for the institution in its early years, and later in 
securing the appropriation for rebuilding, after the fire, it was 
regarded by all who were familiar with the facts, a very wise and 
appropriate selection, and they anticipate a continuation of the 
prosperity and an enlargement of the usefulness of the school. 

Secretaries of the Boards 

Every one familiar with the history of the institution would 
question the faithfulness of any chronicle of its affairs and its 
servants were not some little space given to the local members of 
the Board who gave unstintingly of their time and counsel that 



27 

the school might serve the state wisely. The first in this list was 
Dr. James Robarts, a member of the first board to take charge of 
the institution upon the completion of the first building, and to 
organize the work of the school. As shown in the list of trustees, 
Dr. Robarts was the local member, and was the first secretary. 
Being a professional man of rare attainments, having been gradu- 
ated from one of the best medical colleges of the country, the 
Jefferson of Philadelphia, his ideals were above the ordinary. 
Naturally, he was ambitious for the new school and was in favor 
of its being in fact what it was in name, a university. In this 
he was disappointed. His service in the army as surgeon and his 
extensive practice in Southern Illinois gave him a prestige which 
was of great value to the school. His official connection with the 
Institution continued from 1873 to 1885, a period of twelve years. 

Dr. Robarts was succeeded by Captain E. J. IngersoU, also of 
Carbondale, and likewise made Secretary of the board. Mr. 
IngersoU, along with Judge Barr, Senator Lemma and others, was 
very influential in securing the appropriation of $152,065.00 for 
rebuilding after the fire. During the progress of the work. Cap- 
tain IngersoU was a daily visitor at the building and gave freely 
of his excellent judgment in multitudes of occasions when it was 
timely counsel. While in the General Assembly in 1895, Mr. 
IngersoU was the author of the bill authorizing the appropriation 
of $40,000.00 for the erection of what is now known as the Science 
Building. 

During the construction of the Library Building the Captain 
was again a member of the Board and showed the sam.e unselfish 
spirit in watching the progress of the work he had exhibited at 
all other times when his advice was of value to the institution. 

As indicated above, Mr. IngersoU was a member of the Board 
at two different times, the first extending thru eight years, the 
second thru five years, making a total of thirteen years. At the 
close of his first term he was succeeded by his fellow townsman, 
Mr. Samuel W. Dunnaway as local trustee. During his term of 
service, the Science Building was added to the plant in addition 
to many other improvements. Mr. Dunnaway was no exception 
in the matter of devotion to the best interest of the school. His 
successor as local member and secretary, was the late Col. Frank 
A, Prickett, whose term of service covered three years. 

Mr. Hugh Lauder was the successor to Captain IngersoU whose 
second term followed that of Colonel Prickett. He also, was secre- 
tary of the board and the local member. During Mr, Lauder's 



28 

term of eight years the grand-stand on Bayliss Field, the AUyn 
Building, and the Woman's building were added, to the rapidly 
growing plant. In addition to these acquisitions the state farm 
of nearly sixty acres was purchased. It was thru the business 
sagacity of Mr. Lauder that the purchase was made at a very oppor- 
tune time and on very reasonable terms. While he was interested 
in all phases of the school's prosperity, he was more deeply con- 
cerned in the enlargement and development of the Agricultural 
department, and retired with the feeling that he had been instru- 
mental in establishing one of the most important departments of 
the Institution. 

The Treasurers of the Board 

Upon an examination of the lists of trustees and their officers it 
will be noticed that those who have served as custodians of the 
state's funds have been among the prominent citizens of Carbon- 
dale. 

The first to assume this responsible task was Mr. John G. 
Campbell, son of Mr. James M. Campbell, the contractor who lost 
his life in the erection of the building. His period of service 
extended from 1874 to 1878. The funds were kept by the banking 
firm of Richart and Campbell who were leading merchants of 
Carbondale, this Mr. Campbell being a brother of the treasurer. 
The funds of the institution, issued by the state treasurer by quar- 
terly allowances, were kept by this firm till the summer of 1895. 

Mr. John Campbell was followed by the appointment of John 
S. Bridges, who was treasurer from 1878 till his death in 1890; 
one year longer than the one next to him in length of service. 
Mr, Bridges was succeeded by Mr. Samuel T. Brush till 1893, when 
Mr. James M. Evans was appointed treasurer and served till 1897, 
the close of Governor Altgeld's administration. 

Mr. E. K. Porter was then made the custodian of the funds 
of the school, and remained in charge till 1900, when Mr. Harry 
E. Searing of the class of 1887 was made his successor. Mr. Sear- 
ing served but one year, when Dr. H. C. Mitchell was selected as 
the keeper of the funds from 1901 till 1905. He was followed by 
Mr. Porter, who has had the distinction of being appointed the 
second time to the important position of treasurer, and also of 
making out the monthly and quarterly reports in a most complete 
and approved form. In addition to this he gave his personal atten- 
tion to the minutest details of the office, and the courtesies thereof 
to members of the faculty and others who had business relations 
with the treasurer. 



29 

Mr. Porter was succeeded by Mr. Charles E. Hamilton, the 
present incumbent, who will, without doubt, preserve the dignity 
of the office. 

State Superintendents 

It would be a grave oversight, indeed, not to go outside the list 
of officials of the boards of trustees and give at least a passing 
notice of the state superintendents, who by virtue of their office 
became members of the several boards of trustees of state educa- 
tional institutions, under the act of the legislature of 1889. It 
is sad to note that the only person now living who has occupied that 
exalted position since this law became effective, except the present 
incumbent, is the Hon. J. H. Freeman of Aurora, who completed the 
unexpired term caused by the death of Mr. Inglis. 

It was a wise provision to bring to the several boards of the 
state the ripe scholarship, large experience and broad vision of 
those who must necessarily view the problems of these institutions 
in the light of the entire system of education in the commonwealth. 

Dr. Richard Edwards, then late President of the Illinois State 
Normal University, was the first to enter upon the duties thus 
provided for. Since the law became effective during his term of 
office, he was a member but two years, but the influence of his 
personality and familiarity with school problems of Illinois was 
of immense value to the school. In 1891 he was succeeded by Supt. 
Henry Raab of Belleville, retiring in 1895. His rugged person- 
ality and profound earnestness had a salutary influence upon the 
policies of the board. Mr. Raab's deep solicitude for the primary 
and elementary grades in the public schools of the state showed 
itself in some advanced policies in the training department of the 
normal school here. 

Professor Samuel M. Inglis of Greenville, who became a mem- 
ber of the board of trustees thru the appointment of GTovernor 
CuUom in 1881, served till 1883 when he was elected a member of 
the faculty. From 1892 to 1894 he was secretary of the faculty. 
In the fall of 1894 he was elected Supt. of Public Instruction 
which continued his connection with the institution but in a more 
official capacity. His long acquaintance with the school rendered 
his services all the more valuable. 

Upon the death of Mr. Inglis in the summer of 1898, his 
Assistant, the Honorable J. H. Freeman, was appointed to fill out 
the unexpired term, till the following January. This short period 
gave Mr. Freeman but little opportunity to affect the workings of 



30 

the school ; however his keen insight into the merits of any proposed 
plans was highly appreciated by his colleagues and the president 
of the school. 

In 1899 Professor Alfred Bayliss of Streator became Supt. of 
Public Instruction. He gave freely of his time and counsel to the 
welfare of the school. His sound judgment coupled with a wide 
knowledge of educational forces at work in the state was of great 
significance to the institution. By his oft repeated observations 
relative to the school at Carbondale, it was known that the Southern 
Illinois State Normal University had a very warm place in Mr. Bay- 
liss ' affections. This feeling was mutual, as the entire student body 
and the faculty held him in the highest esteem, and were inspired 
by his kindly counsel, lofty ideals and cordial greetings. It seemed 
proper to name the athletic field in his honor. His tragic and 
untimely taking away was a great shock to his many friends at 
the Carbondale school. 

Mr. Bayliss was followed in 1907 by the Honorable Francis 
G. Blair, who had been Superintendent of the training school of 
the Eastern Illinois State Normal School for a number of years. 
He is now nearing the close of his second term of four years each. 
Altho a younger man than any of his predecessors were, when 
in office, his special preparation and training for the duties thereof, 
enabled him to take front rank among the state superintendents 
of the nation. Mr. Blair has been signally fortunate in securing 
favorable legislation affecting the interests of education thruout 
the commonwealth, especially during the later sessions of the 
General Assemblies. The scope of the office is much enlarged and 
effective, the force now numbering six or more efficient helpers. 

Presidents of the Faculties 

The institution was indeed fortunate in having for its first 
president a gentleman of rare scholarship and broad culture; one 
of most excellent character and large experience as an educator. 
Because of these attainments, Dr. AUyn was peculiarly fitted for 
the leadership of young men and women who contemplated enter- 
ing the profession of teaching; more especially was this valuable 
at the opening of a normal school which was destined to play an 
important part in the evolution of a people in a condition ripe for 
the leaven which such a school could spread thruout the southern 
portion of Illinois. Very few educators have been able to leave 
a more wholesome and lasting influence upon an institution and 



31 

a large section of country than did Dr. Allyn. After eighteen 
years of most valuable service he retired in 1892. He remained 
in Carbondale till the date of his death, January 1894. 

Professor John Hull, who had been in the faculty from the 
beginning of the second year, followed Dr. Allyn as president. 
During the one year in which he occupied this position the exhibit 
for the "Columbian Exposition" was prepared by the school. The 
friends of the institution had just cause for a feeling of pride on 
account of the very great excellency of this exhibit. Mr. Hull was 
followed by Dr. H. W. Everest late president of ''Garfield Uni- 
versity," Wichita, Kansas, whose term of service extended from 
1893 to 1897. He also came to the school after an extended experi- 
ence as president of several denominational institutions. He too, 
left an impress upon the school that will remain thru the years 
to come. During Dr. Everest's presidency the Science building 
was erected with an appropriation of $40,000; $10,000 less than 
was asked for. Under the administration of President Everest the 
institution made a decided advancement in many ways, especially 
in attendance. He was succeeded by the writer of this sketch,^ 
who had been a member of the faculty from the opening of the 
school. During the year 1897-1898 he served as ''Acting Presi- 
dent" and was elected president in the spring of 1898, occupy- 
ing said position until September, 1913; making a term of 
unbroken service of thirty-nine years. During the years of his 
presidency, sixteen years, the library building, the model school 
building and the woman's building were each planned for and 
erected; the farm was purchased and the departments of manual 
training, household arts and agriculture were added to the curri- 
cula of studies. 

President Henry W. Shryoek came into the faculty in 1894 
as a successor to the late State Supt. Samuel M. Inglis. In 1898 
he was made Vice-President and Registrar. He enters upon his 
duties as president under propitious conditions, having a large 
measure of familiarity with the duties and responsibilities of the 
exalted position. This coupled with his extended acquaintance 
with the normal school people of the middle west, and the problems 
therein, give him a peculiar fitness for the duties of president. 
The friends of the school anticipate a continuation of the growth 
and popularity of the institution in its ideals, its usefulness and 
in its attendance. The installation exercises were held in con- 
nection with the dedication of the woman's building on October 
23, 1913. These were of unusual interest and marked a new era 
in the life of the Southern Illinois Normal University. 



32 

Vice-Presidents 

The office of vice-president was not created till the year 1894. 
Those who have served in that capacity are as follows: The com- 
piler of these notes, serving from 1894 till 1898, when he was 
succeeded by Professor Shryock, who served till his promotion to 
the presidency, when Dr. C. E. Allen was honored with the office. 

Registrars 

This office has from the first been one of responsibility. The 
first incumbent was Professor C. W. Jerome who met the demands 
of this position with great satisfaction from June 1874 till June 
1891. He was followed by Professor John Hull till his promotion 
to the presidency in 1892. He in turn was followed by the writer 
who looked after the duties of the office till 1898, when Professor 
Shryock assumed the responsibilities of this position, acting in 
said capacity till made president in 1913, 

Mr. Shryock was succeeded by Professor Allen who is the 
present incumbent and meeting the demands of the office with 
great satisfaction to all concerned with the affairs of the institu- 
tion. 

Teachers 

In addition to the above brief references to those who have 
had the larger responsibilities of the institution the writer asks 
the privilege of naming a few of those who have labored long and 
efficiently for the good name and upbuilding of the school. These 
will be noted in the order of their length of service and confined 
to those who have labored not less than twenty years. 

Miss Martha Buck has the distinction of serving longer than 
any of her associates, being now in her fortieth year, with but few 
leaves of absence, and these never for a period longer than one 
term. Her services have been confined very largely to the field 
of English grammar and kindred subjects. During this time she 
published a text on grammar which she has used herself and it 
has been adopted by others, especially by those who have been her 
students. 

Miss Buck's influence for good among her students and in the 
community has been very extended and pronounced. She has a 
multitude of loyal friends among the thousands of former students 
scattered thruout the state and nation. 

Professor George H. French came to Carbondale in 1876 to 
assist the late Dr. Cyrus Thomas who at that time was State 



33 

Entomologist in addition to Ms duties in the institution as head of 
the department of natural history. In 1877 Mr. French was made 
curator of the museum. Upon the resignation of Dr. Thomas in 
1881, Mr. French became his worthy successor, where he has 
labored very faithfully and efficiently with scarcely a day's absence, 
not excepting the summer months. 

For the past few years his labors have been much lightened 
by the appointment of Professor John P. Gilbert, who was placed 
in charge of the department in 1910. In addition to his arduous 
duties, Professor French has found time to write for scientific 
journals of varied character. Some years since he published a 
treatise on ''The Butterflies of the Eastern United States." His 
reputation as a scientific student and writer is international, 
belonging to the following societies : Fellow of the American Asso- 
ciation for the Advancement of Sciences ; Member of the St. Louis 
Academy of Sciences ; of the Entomological Society of France ; of 
the Entomological Society of Belgium; Associate Member of the 
Natural History of Lubic, Germany ; of the Entomological Society 
of Ontario; of the Entomological Society of New York; of the 
American Entomological Society; of the Philadelphia Academy 
of Sciences. 

Miss Matilda F. Salter, who was elected to succeed Miss Lilian 
B. Ford as head of the department of Art, in 1885, is still a mem- 
ber of the faculty. She is now in her twenty-ninth year of efficient 
service, with a few periods of absence on account of ill-health. 

Professor George W. Smith entered the faculty in the fall of 
1900, first as training teacher in the seventh and eight grades; 
which position he occupied for seven years, when he was placed 
in charge of the double department of History and Geography. 
In the course of six years a separate department was made of 
geography, with Professor Frank H. Colyer in charge. Mr. Smith 
is now in his twenty-fourth year of service as one of the most 
capable teachers of the institution. Since 1894 he has been secre- 
tary of the faculty. A few years since he published an excellent 
text on the ' ' History of Illinois, ' ' and later a ' ' History of Southern 
Illinois" in three large volumes. A most creditable effort as a 
writer of history. 

Dr. Carlos E. Allen became a member of the teaching force in 
1894 when he succeeded Mrs. Clara B. Way, to have charge of 
the department of Latin, Greek and German. He has labored 
with marked acceptability in said department till the present time. 
At the meeting of the Board of Trustees last June, Mr. Allen was 



34 

made Vice-President, Registrar and Financial Agent, in addition 
to his regular class duties. At the expiration of the present year, 
he will have served nineteen years, having been given a year's 
absence a few years since ; otherwise he would have served twenty 
years, as the tabulated list of teachers indicates. During the later 
years he worked out the degrees of M. A. and Ph. D. at the 
University of Chicago; making an excellent record as a student 
in advanced work. 

Not to mention the librarian, who rendered the longest service 
and with marked acceptability, would be an unwarranted over- 
sight. 

Miss Minnie J. Fryar, an alumna of the school was of the class 
of 1886. After teaching several years she was offered the posi- 
tion of librarian in 1892, which position she occupied for seven 
years, when she was transferred for two years to the department 
of English, as instructor. In 1901 she was again placed in charge 
of the library and remained till 1905, when she resigned to assume 
the duties of a higher calling, that of companion and home keeper 
of Mr. H. L. Kessler, of the class of 1900. 

As the successful military campaign could not be waged with- 
out the faithful private in the ranks, so the efficient ongoing of 
an institution depends in no small measure on those in less con- 
spicuous positions. All students and teachers connected with the 
school during the last twelve years will ever remember with much 
gratitude the faithful and efficient services of Miss Lula Peay, 
who served as Secretary to the President from 1901 to 1913. 
However busy she may have been with her own special duties, she 
was always willing to attend to the calls of students and faculty 
for information and assistance in a most gracious and patient 
manner. The records of the institution show a larger number of 
entries made in her hand-writing than in that of any other. She 
resigned her position last June to assume the more exalted duties 
of Mrs. Arthur G. Cross, of the class of 1897. 

It would be an unexcusable oversight were no reference made 
of the exceptional services of Mr. John Amon of the janitor 
service. He came as the assistant to Mr. Richard Tierney, who on 
account of ill-health resigned after many years of faithful and 
efficient labor as engineer and head janitor. Mr. Amon began his 
service in 1897 ; became head janitor in 1898, and is still at the 
head of the force. No institution ever had an employe of greater 
fidelity and promptness. The members of the Literary Societies 
and the Christian Associations will ever remember with gratitude 



35 

Mr. Amon's faithful services in their times of regular need and 
in special emergencies. 

Military Tactics 

Not long after the opening of the school it was learned that the 
federal government was willing to supply the institution a mili- 
tary equipment necessary for giving the more elementary forms 
of military tactics, and to detail an officer to have charge of the 
work. 

In the year 1877 Brev't Captain Thomas J. Spencer, U. S. A. 
was detailed to Carbondale to take charge of this new department, 
being one of a very few assignments of this character to a normal 
school. 

After three years of service in this capacity the captain was 
assigned to other duties, and First Lieut. Hugh T. Reed was selected 
as his successor, who likewise served three years, retiring in 1883. 
He in turn was succeeded by Lieut. Charles G. Starr, U. S. A., 
remaining in charge till 1886, when he was followed by Lieut. 
James Franklin Bell, U. S. A., resigning the position in 1889, when 
the government ceased to make further assignments to the institu- 
tion. However, in a less pretentious way, the organization was 
continued four years longer under the leadership of Professor 
George V. Buchanan of the class of '84 who had distinguished 
himself, while a student in the school, as one of the captains in 
the department. Since 1893 no work of a military character has 
been offered by the school, much to the disappointment of many 
young men, and serious loss in some very essential features of 
manly training, and physical development. During these seven- 
teen years the young men of the school took great pride in their 
drills and maneuvers, and in meeting the requirements of their 
several official positions. 

Of the above named officers, from the regular army, Mr. Bell 
is the only one still in the service. Since leaving the school in 
1889 he has distinguished himself on many battlefields in the 
Philippine Islands and in other ways. In 1906, he was honored 
by President Roosevelt in being made ' ' Chief of Staff. ' ' At this 
writing he is now on his way home from the Philippines with the 
supposition that he is to take charge of the Department of the 
Lakes, with a strong probability of being sent to the Mexican Bor- 
der, provided the policy of ' ' Watchful Waiting ' ' should give place 
to more active military participation in the affairs of our neighbors 
on the South. 



36 

ATTENDANCE 

In giving an exhibit of the attendance there is some difficulty 
in making comparisons on account of having changed the classifi- 
cation from time to time. From the first the regular normal 
courses have required rather strong entrance preparation, necessi- 
tating a preparatory or sub-normal course, which offered the 
necessary training in study and scholarship for those not qualified 
for the regular normal courses. These have been classified as 
normal students. The first two years of the high school have 
usually been classed as a part of the Training School. 

The figures are taken from the regular catalogs as they were 
published from year to year.

"While it is too early in the school year to name the exact figures 
for the present year it is a pleasure to state that the attendance 
has been far in excess of any previous year ; especially is this true 
of the spring term, which has just opened. This is, in part, due 
to the very favorable provisions of the new "Certification Law," 
referred to in the observations on ' ' The Alumni. " It is estimated 
the attendance at the present time is quite fifty per cent increase 
over that of any previous term, a very gratifying condition to the 
management of the institution and its thousands of friends thruout 
the state. It is estimated, also, that the graduating class of the 
present year will be sixty-five per cent larger than any former 
class.

THE ALUMNI 

From the above table it appears that the number of graduates 
has ranged from four to thirty-eight, with a total of six hundred 
eighty-one. The average is a trifle less than eighteen per year. 

The number in the graduating classes has not been as large 
as the attendance would indicate. This may be accounted for in 
part by several causes, viz. : the demand for teachers, especially 
in the more recent years, has been so urgent, the county super- 
intendents have been compelled to urge even those whose prepara- 
tion has been less than a full normal course, oft-times but a year, 
and infrequently but one term, to engage in teaching. In many 
instances after the young man or young woman, as the case might 
be, had begun to earn money in this way it seemed difficult to 
stop teaching long enough to complete a regular normal course. 
Second, not until recently has the state adopted a plan for the 
certification of its teachers that made the completion of such 
courses in any sense attractive. With the exception of two short 
periods, Illinois has failed to honor the product of its own normal 
schools by any reasonable concessions in the matter of issuing 
certificates. The last General Assembly, however, redeemed the 
good name of the commonwealth by writing on the statute books 
a certification law that offers to the graduates of the normal 
schools some inducements that heretofore have not obtained. 

In the third place, not until recently, has the school offered any 
but the two regular normal courses for diploma work, and these 
have purposely been kept reasonably strong, requiring for the 
average country boy five full years of solid work. Under the 
circumstances it is not strange that a comparatively small number 
completed the prescribed courses. Within the last few years a 
number of more elastic courses have been offered and given the 
same recognition with reference to graduation, viz., manual train- 
ing, household arts, agriculture and commercial. With these 
inducements it is fully expected that the graduating classes will 
be much larger hereafter. 

Not only will the new certification law tend to increase the size 
of the graduating classes but it will favorably affect the general 
attendance, since it places a premium on even a briefer period 
than to complete a full course. The advocates of the state normal 
schools have labored and waited patiently and long for this just 
recognition of the work of the institutions which have for their 
special function the preparation of young people for the duties of 
the school room and the evolution of the character and life of the 
youth of the state.

The Evolution of the Training School 

•It is conceded that the prime purpose of a normal school is 
to prepare prospective teachers for their special calling. Horace 
Mann conceived the idea that the teachers of this country needed 
this training as well as those of Germany and succeeded in demon- 
strating the soundness of his theory in his own state at an early 
date. Some years elapsed before the advocacy of this doctrine 
could secure much of a hearing in the newer states. The agitation 
of this new doctrine reached Illinois in the early fifties and 
resulted in an act of the legislature being passed in 1857 for the 
establishment of a Normal University. 

Twelve years later the subject of this sketch began its career, 
with the conviction in the minds of its leaders that a normal 
school without a Training Department was a misnomer. Hence 
from the first the Model School has received no small share of 
attention, and evidences of a real serious study of the needs of 
the school are, perhaps, more apparent here than in any other 
department of the institution. 

Miss Julia F. Mason was its first Principal. For a short while 
after her retirement it was not well organized; but in 1882, Pro- 
fessor John Hull was placed in charge, still retaining charge of 
pedagogy and higher mathematics. For two years he was assisted 
by Miss Mary Sowers, who was succeeded by Miss Alice Krysher 
in 1884, and she by Miss Ann C. Anderson in 1886. Miss Ander- 
son was succeeded by Miss Theda Gildemeister in 1893, who in 
turn was followed by Miss Ada P. Wertz in 1897. 

These assistants were in personal charge of the first six grades 
till 1893, when Miss Irene Furgeson was employed to assist Miss 
Gildemeister, and in 1897 Miss Lizzie Parks became the assistant 
to Miss Wertz, and later placed in charge of the primary grades, 
as critic teacher. She resigned in 1900, and her position was filled 



40 

by the appointment of Miss A. Esther Wilson, who remained till 
1910. 

When Mr. Hull was elected "Kegent," as the position was 
then called, in 1892, Mr. William F. Eocheleau, was placed in 
charge of the Training School. Upon his resignation in 1895, he 
was succeeded by Mr, James Kirk, who came to the school from 
the office of State Supt. Eaab, where he had served as Assistant 
to Mr. Eaab. In this capacity Mr. Kirk labored till he was placed 
at the head of the department of mathematics, and Prof. J. T. 
Ellis was made head of the department, in 1901. Mr. Ellis was 
in charge till 1905, when Prof. Samuel E. Harwood was placed 
in charge and remained till 1910 when Prof. Charles Herbert 
Elliott succeeded him. In 1913 Prof. W. A. Furr was appointed 
Mr. Elliott's successor, and is in charge at the time of the writing 
of this bulletin. 

From 1897 till 1908 there were but two critic teachers for the 
first six grades; after the latter date the school was able to have 
a critic for each two grades, including the ninth and tenth grades, 
which became a part of the training school. By this time the 
Superintendent was able to give his entire time to this depart- 
ment, while a number of the regular teachers of the normal classes 
assisted more or less in the teaching; especially was this true in 
history and geography. 

New life was given to the Training School when it was given 
a building of its own in 1909, which contributed very largely to 
the comfort of the children and their teachers, to the organiza- 
tion and efficiency of the department. 

Some years prior to 1893, the institution offered a high school 
course somewhat after the plan of the older normal school at 
Normal, but Governor Altgeld was of the opinion that such a 
course had no place in a state normal school, and it was discon- 
tinued at his request. However, the demand continued and both 
schools reinstated these courses after a few years. As stated before, 
the first two year pupils were regarded as belonging to the prac- 
tice school, but the third and fourth were taught quite largely 
along with the normal students, thus avoiding much extra expense 
in caring for the high school pupils. 

The Model School is provided with a good supply of out-door 
playground apparatus, and the children have access to the privi- 
leges of the gymnasium. They have sufficient ground assigned 
them from the farm for school and landscape gardens. From its 
early history, the institution has regarded the training school as 



41 

an indispensable part of the normal school organization, and have 
sought to make it as helpful as possible to the would-be teacher. 

Manual Training and Household Arts 

These two departments were not added till in the later years, 
due in some measure to the lack of room. The former was intro- 
duced with a fairly good equipment in the summer of 1907, under 
the supervision of Miss Myra M. LaSalle, who was followed the 
next year by Prof. Louis C. Petersen, who increased its scope and 
equipment. He is still in charge. Mr. Petersen has published a 
number of bulletins that have been in demand, not only in this 
country but in other lands. 

The department of domestic science was installed in the summer 
of 1909, with Miss Grace E. Jones in charge, who planned the 
equipment and the courses of study. These have been revised 
somewhat, to meet the needs of the growing department, with Miss 
Lucy K. Moody as assistant. 

The two departments have been very popular and have added 
much to the attractions of the school; a number of students have 
been employed as teachers in these subjects in the public schools 
of the state. 

Agriculture 

While more or less attention had been paid to elementary 
agriculture, for some years, especially in what was termed the 
State Course, it was not given the dignity of a separate course 
till the General Assembly of 1911 made an appropriation for that 
purpose, which included the purchase of a farm and the fitting 
up of suitable laboratories for the analysis of soils, testing soil 
fertility, etc. The Institution was fortunate in being able to obtain 
a tract of land adjoining a part of the campus with only a country 
highway intervening. The tract lacks but little of having sixty 
acres in it and is regarded as a wise and profitable investment. 
The last legislature made a generous provision for the purchase of 
modern farm machinery, some pedigreed stock, and for more com- 
pletely equipping the laboratories. In addition to the above a 
typical Farm Home is to be erected on the state farm for the 
purpose of exhibiting to the students, not only those in this special 
department, but to all who are interested, the ideal conditions of 
a rural home as far as this may be shown at an institution of 
learning.

This fragmentary account of these rather recent additions to 
the scope of work of the institution may be regarded as a sample 
of the ambition of the school to offer the young people of Southern 
Illinois the best facilities in school work that are known, and to 
make the school of maximum value to the section of the common- 
wealth in which it is located. 

The Commercial Course 

"While Bookkeeping was taught in the early years of the school, 
and was one of the prescribed studies for many years it was elimi- 
nated to make room for some of the more professional branches. 
However, the recent demand for vocational training has made it 
seem wise to restore bookkeeping to a place in a regular course 
and add thereto typewriting and other kindred studies and offer 
a regular commercial course. This has necessitated the purchase 
of an equipment of typewriters, the establishment of a banking out- 
fit and other features peculiar to this department. 

This departure was made to keep step with the march of prog- 
ress in the educational field, which calls for a provision for the types 
of mind not attracted by the regulation courses, which must ever 
be held as the typical line of study for the prospective teacher. 

The Library 

From the beginning of the school, the value of a good reading 
and a good reference library has been recognized as a very necess- 
ary adjunct to a normal school. Dr. AUyn gave wise attention 
to the selection of such pedagogical works as would be of the 
greatest value to those contemplating entering the profession of 
teaching. 

At first the small collection of books was housed in the north- 
east room of the fourth floor under the mansard roof, and remained 
there till the burning of the building in 1883. Altho the books 
were on the fourth floor, by the herculean efforts of the students, 
teachers, and friends in the town, but few volumes were lost. 

During the interim, till the new building was erected, the books 
were kept in the temporary structure, and in some of the build- 
ings of Carbondale. Strange as it may seem, but few books were 
lost during these three years and four months. Upon the comple- 
tion of the new building the northwest room on the second floor 
was set apart for the library. Here it remained till the erection 



43 

of the Science building in 1896, when the books were taken to 
the north east room on the first floor of this building. 

Upon the erection of the library building in 1904 the books 
were again moved, and this time to a home designed especially 
for that purpose. The entire first floor of this building is occupied 
ior library use. 

The catalog of 1878 is the first one that makes any reference 
to the library. It states that there were at that time ' ' about 5,000 
carefully selected volumes, including a professional library for 
teachers." The following exhibit shows the number of volumes 
reported in the several catalogs from year to year: 

Volumes in the Library, 1878-1913. 

1878 5,000 1890 9,000 1902 16,800 

1879 5,790 1891 10,000 1903 17,169 

1880 5,790 1892 11,000 1904 17,800 

1881 6,653 1893 12,000 1905 18,470 

1882 7,500 1894 13,000 1906 19,060 

1883 7,900 1895 13,000 1907 19,060 

1884 7,900 1896 14,000 1908 20,500 

1885 7,900 1897 14,000 1909 22,000 

1886 7,900 1898 15,000 1910 22,500 

1887 7,900 1899 15,000 1911 23,400 

1888 7,900 1900 15,000 1912 23,975 

1889 8,000 1901 15,160 1913 24,729 

From the above tabulated exhibit it appears that at a few 
periods there seem to have been no books added during several 
years; especially was this true just after the burning of the first 
building when there was no additional room for new books, and 
the extra expense of moving and storing books, apparatus, furni- 
ture, etc. consumed all funds not needed for actual demands on 
the treasury. 

Literary Societies 

This historical sketch would be far from complete were no ref- 
erence made to the literary societies that have played no insigni- 
ficant part in the cultural work of the institution. Quite early in 
the first term of the school the question of organizing such an 
-agency for literary training was seriously considered; due in part 
to the fact that a number of the students had attended school at the 
older normal school, McKendree College, Ewing College and The 
■Southern Illinois College, and were more or less acquainted with the 
importance of the training offered by such school agencies. As early 



44 

as September 9, 1874, a petition was presented to the faculty asking 
permission to organize a literary society. The petition was granted 
and in a few days the following students were assembled in 
response to a call for the purpose of perfecting an organization: 
Kobert H. Flannagan, John Quails, J. M. Eeeder, Heber Kobarts, 
D. G. Thompson, N. Ellen Sherman, Charles E. Evans, Louis M. 
Kane, John N. Law, S. A. Maxwell, Mary Wright, J. M. Osborne, 
J. E. Dean and S. E. Sprague. At this meeting a committee was 
appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws to be presented at 
a meeting to be held one week later. 

At the appointed time the committee was ready to report, and 
the important documents were accepted. At the same meeting the 
following officers were elected: President, Miss Mary Wright; 
Vice-President, Heber Robarts; Secretary, Miss N. Ellen Sher- 
man. There seems to have been no need of a treasurer at first, 
as the record is silent with reference to this office. 

The only available room for this new agency in the new normal 
school was the northwest room on the fourth floor. 

To find a suitable name for this organization was not an easy 
task; but in due time one was agreed upon, quite unlike that of 
any other known to the members at that time and possibly not 
at the present date; for they were ambitious in more ways than 
one. This one before the days of vocational training, and any 
school course or literary organization that failed to have a pro- 
nounced flavor of Greek, Latin, and mathematics was regarded 
as of little consequence. The unique term ''Zetetic," meaning a 
seeker, or lover of knowledge, seemed to meet the requirements. 
So the name Zetetic has been more or less on the lips of the students 
and faculty for nearly forty years, and will doubtless continue 
so for generations yet to be. 

The motto of the Zetetic society has been helpful to hundreds 
of young people since it touches the two extremes of effort, ' ' Learn 
to Labor and to Wait." 

At the time of the fire the society was able to save all its furni- 
ture including the piano. During the rebuilding of the main build- 
ing the society was housed in the temporary building in one of the 
recitation rooms. Upon the completion of the building two very 
choice halls were in readiness for the two literary societies, as 
very soon after the organization of the first one a second followed. 
These halls were frescoed and decorated with special reference to 
their use. 

The younger society was the outgrowth of a demand for a 
debating club, which for a time was confined in its privileges to 



45 

young men. While the young men heartily enjoyed their oppor- 
tunities thus provided, the other society seemed to possess some 
attractions theirs did not. It was not difficult to determine the 
popular feature of the sister society, and it was but a short time 
till the ladies were admitted on the same terms as the young men. 

The naming of the latter organization was less difficult than in 
the former case. It was soon decided to name it in honor of 
the great Athenian philosopher, and the name ''Socratic" has 
been as familiar as that of ''Zetetic" thruout the student-body 
of the institution. 

The Socratic motto has been an inspiration not only to its 
members but all who have seen it on the walls of their hall and 
on the many programs presented to the public from time to time 
during nearly forty years: ''Nulla vera felicitas sine sapientia" — 
No true happiness without knowledge. 

The first home of this society was similar to the other, but 
at the south west corner of the same floor ; a position less favorable 
at the time of the burning as it was almost immediately under the 
spot where the fire originated, which made it impossible to save 
all the furniture especially the piano, a loss they were ill-prepared 
to meet just at that time. 

In the assignment of the two elegant halls in the restored build- 
ing it was decided to grant the first choice on the basis of age. 
This resulted in the older one choosing the room on the front 
end of the building, at the north east corner of the third floor, 
leaving the one at the south east on the same floor for the Socratic 
people. These halls are counterparts of each other, having the 
same dimensions in each direction, and furnished as much alike as 
possible. 

Upon the completion of the library building in 1904, it was 
found wise to locate the societies there. First, it was less trouble 
and less expensive to warm and light the halls and the corridors 
leading thereto. Second, it would be less disturbing to have the 
rooms over the library proper to be used at night, by the societies 
than by classes during the day. The rooms at the south and east 
ends were appropriated for this purpose. 

Since a difference of a few months in age seemed insignificant 
in a reach of thirty years, it was decided to give them an equal 
chance in having first choice. The matter was made more interest- 
ing by having this done at the time of dedicating the building, 
and conducted by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, Alfred 
Bayliss, who followed a plan of his own, that of having the presi- 
dents of the two societies draw ribbons of different lengths from 



46 

a book ; the one drawing the longer ribbon to have the first choice. 
The Socratie president was the lucky one ; resulting in their choos- 
ing the south room leaving the east room for the Zetetics. It was 
fortunate that in each room there are good qualities to offset those 
of equal value in the other. 

During the presidency of Dr. Everest 1893- '97 two other 
literary societies were organized and for some time accomplished 
considerable good, but they labored under the disadvantage of 
having no halls set apart for their special use, consequently were 
less popular, and in a few years were abandoned. 

Among the outstanding features of each of these organizations 
are the "Annual Spring Entertainments" which have been pre- 
sented to the public as a part of the program of Commencement 
Week. These have received more than usual attention on the part 
of the membership. The student body and the general public 
have highly appreciated the faithful efforts of these young people 
in this field of general culture. 

The Debating Club 

With less pretentions as to organization and entertainment 
when compared with the literary societies, the young men of the 
school continued an effort among themselves for training in for- 
ensic art, which has been productive of much practical value to 
those who have participated in the exercises thereof. 

These groups of ambitious young men have called their com- 
pany by various names ; sometimes it has been designated as ' ' The 
Debating Club" sometimes as ''The Forum," but always with 
the same purpose, that of special practice in the high art of pub- 
lic speaking and parliamentary usage. 

EXHIBITS AT EXPOSITIONS 

The Centennial Exposition 

The Southern Illinois Normal University having been opened 
on July 1, 1874, was sufficiently organized in 1876 to prepare an 
exhibit for the Centennial Exposition held that year in Philadel- 
phia. 

While the display was largely confined to bound volumes of 
manuscripts showing the ability of students in preparing school 
papers covering nearly the entire range of their work, it was a 
creditable exhibit for the time. The institution has in its possession 



47 

an interesting diploma as evidence of having presented a worthy 
showing in the educational department of this exposition. 

The Columbian Exposition 

Seventeen years later, when the nation celebrated the Pour 
Hundredth Anniversary of its discovery, in 1893, one year later 
than the exact date, the school was in a position to offer the pub- 
lic a more elaborate exhibit, both on account of having had experi- 
ence in that line, and having a larger school program from which to 
draw for such purpose. 

The initial preparations were made under the direction of Dr. 
Robert AUyn in the year 1872, his last year as head of the institu- 
tion. It was completed in the next school year under the super- 
vision of President John Hull. 

In addition to the regulation manuscripts prepared for such 
occasions, which were handsomely bound and labeled, more atten- 
tion was given to charts and outlines representing the work of 
students in their study of methods of teaching, determinations in 
laboratory work and observations while in the field. A much 
larger collection of photographs were prepared than in the former 
exposition. 

An attractive "Hand Book" was published for the use of 
visitors, setting forth the general plans of the school, and calling 
attention to the most salient features of the exhibit. 

The space allotted to the Southern Illinois Normal University 
was located in the south side of the east wing between that given 
to the State University and that allotted to the Illinois Normal 
University ; covering an area of 27 feet by 39 feet. The Commis- 
sion provided seventeen excellent oak cases with glass doors for 
exhibiting the charts, bound volumes and specimens of natural 
history, etc. These were placed east and west facing each other, 
except those at the ends with ample space for the passage of vis- 
itors. In the center of this- open space were placed a desk, chairs, 
etc., for the use of the several attendants, and for a sort of head- 
quarters for friends of the school who desired to avail themselves 
of its privileges. Parallel with the platform, on either side, were 
a counter and show case, in which were placed bound volumes, and 
material used in the Training School for illustrative purposes. The 
cases were arranged in two distinct groups, one for the Normal 
Department the other for the Model School. 

At the close of the exposition the Commission donated to the 
institution these cases, which have been of great value to the school 
in the twenty years that have followed. 



48 

In order that the exhibit should be in the care of responsible 
<3are-takers, provision was made for two to be on the ground at 
all times. These were young men either in attendance at the school 
at the time or were former students. It was so arranged that each 
one served two weeks, the last week of one being the first week of 
the other. This provision prevailed thru the entire time. 

The institution has much pleasure in the possession of a hand- 
some medal and an elaborate diploma awarded her on account of 
her creditable display in the Centennial Exposition. 

The Louisiana Purchase Exposition 

This third and last exhibit was prepared for the Exposition held 
in St. Louis in 1904, under the special direction of the author of 
this Historical Sketch, and under the general supervision of Super- 
intendent Alfred Bayliss. In some respects this display was less 
pretentious than the one prepared eleven years preceding. More 
attention was given to a collection of views of the grounds, build- 
ings, recitation room^, laboratories, groups of students at work, etc. 

Among the special attractions were plaster models of the three 
buildings then erected, and placed on a large map of the campus, 
on a scale somewhat in proportion to actual measurements, and 
located in their respective position, showing the entire plant as 
a whole. 

The photographs were taken very largely by the late Professor 
Jacob T. Ellis, then Superintendent of the Training Department. 
State Superintendent Bayliss gave much of his valuable time to 
the entire exhibit of the state. 

While there were many unsatisfactory features in connection 
with these exhibits it is generally conceded that much value accrued 
therefrom and the cause of education was advanced to no incon- 
siderable degree at each time. 

EDUCATIONAL CONDITIONS OF SOUTHERN 
ILLINOIS 

1874—1914 

At the time of the opening of the school in 1874 the status of 
the public schools was far from ideal; in fact they were farther 
from being ideal than in any other portion of the commonwealth. 
At that time there were but few high schools in this end of the 
state, and they were as far behind those of the present day as 
the graded schools of that day were behind those we now boast of. 



49 

Without doubt the effects of the civil war in Southern Illinois 
was more marked than in other parts of the state, both in its effects 
on the people and on the wealth of the region. The two combined 
to bear heavily on the cause of general education within its bor- 
ders. It was no easy task to secure ample means for the erection 
of comfortable and attractive school buildings, and to employ 
competent teachers; consequently, when the normal school opened 
in 1874 it was confronted with the task of adjusting its service to 
the needs of the region in which it was to operate. This required 
tact and patience — two rare qualities in handling school problems, 
for the school is made for the child and not the child for the 
school. "While there were differences of opinion as to how best 
meet these needs, there was agreement as to the aim which should 
prompt the activities of the institution. Doubtless this policy may 
have cost the school some prestige in some quarters, but it enabled 
many young people to avail themselves of the privileges of the 
equipment and the instruction of such a school who otherwise 
would have not enjoyed so favorable an opportunity to secure an 
education. 

In addition to the above facts affecting the policy of the institu- 
tion, the attitude of the school toward the problem of how best 
serve the children of the colored race of Southern Illinois was a 
matter of no little import. In some sections of the state it would 
not have been so significant, but in the section of the state in 
such close proximity to the region where race prejudice is marked, 
it was a serious proposition, and it was necessary to handle it with 
unusual care and wisdom. 

The Churches op Carbondale 

In reviewing these matters relating to the effects of the institu- 
tion on the educational and material advancement of Southern 
Illinois it is well to remember that many other agencies have con- 
tributed to these gratifying returns. The churches of Carbondale 
have co-operated in no small measure to the upbuilding of the 
character of those who have come under their benign influence. 
Those who have directed the activities of the institution have 
recognized the helpfulness of these religious organizations in sup- 
plementing their efforts in securing the fullest development of the 
young people committed to their care. 



50 

The Christian Associations 

Among the agencies that have contributed in no uncertain way 
to the general tone of the school, even from the very early years, 
are the Young Men's and Young "Women's Christian Associations. 
These have been potent factors in keeping before the student body 
the need and value of Christian teaching and association in the 
formation of character that will meet the demands of life in all 
its phases. This has been accomplished in the spirit of genuine 
helpfulness in many ways, and devoid of offense to those most 
sensitive and critical, resulting in a pronounced advantage to those 
coming under this influence in its teachings and associations. The 
State College Secretaries have included Carbondale in their tour 
of annual visitations thruout the colleges of the state, and have 
encouraged and instructed the young people in their labors of 
brotherly interest and fellowship and the establishing of the high- 
est type of Christian character.

these pages precludes anything further than their names in the 
order of their graduation and the number of years taught since 
that date. In a few instances the institution is not sure of their 
whereabouts; this is indicated by the interrogation point. Their 
present occupation is given as far as could be ascertained.

A BRIEF SUMMARY 

Of the Alumni Deaths. 

Of the entire number who have graduated, six hundred eighty- 
one, fifty-three have died as shown by the single star opposite each 
name. 

Marriages 

An examination of the list exhibits the fact that thirty-five 
couples decided to make the voyage of life together. In nine of 
these unions the contracting parties are classmates. Not less than 
seventy other graduates married those who did not complete a 
full course of study, hence their names do not appear in the list. 

Other Vocations 

While the institution is a normal school and a large majority 
of those who have graduated have taught for a greater or less time, 
a few have gone into other professions and lines of effort and made 
for themselves enviable reputations in their several fields. 

Of those who have taught fifteen years or more — one as high 
as thirty-two years, there are fifty-three. 

Served in other professions as follows : 

County Superintendents 12 

Clergymen 8 

Bankers . 12 

Political Leaders 10 

Lawyers 29 

Physicians 22 

Dentists 3 

Members of the faculty of the institution from one term to 
seventeen years 33
